Reducing Exposure to Claims
Your company has accepted a load tender from Freight Management Team, Inc. Please help us in minimizing
unnecessary freight claims. Please read and acknowledge this agreement.
By accepting and picking up a load for us, you hereby agree to the following:
1. Your driver is responsible for the count and condition of the load for which he/she signs. If for any reason there
is a question regarding count or condition at the time of loading,Freight Management Team, Inc must be notified
immediately. It is beneficial and advisable to sign for both the number of skids and piece count.
2. If the driver is not allowed access to observe loading, the boll of lading must be signed: “Shipper load and
count.” The trailer must be sealed and the seal number recorded on the original bill of lading. It is a good idea to
seal every trailer and record the number on the bill of lading.
3. When a sealed trailer arrives at the consignee, the seal must be observed and broken by the consignee. Please
make sure the receiving agent notes on every signed bill of lading: ”Seal intact.”
4. In the event of a discrepancy at the time of delivery, Freight Management Team,. must be notified immediately.
We will give your driver further instructions as to what action to take, what we want signed on the bill of lading,
etc. Again, if the trailer is sealed, the seal must be broken by the consignee and “Seal intact,” should be noted on
the bill.
Shortages and damages do occur. Unfortunately, the communication at the time of delivery is seldom what it
needs to be. By following these simple guidelines, you can help minimize and/or eliminate your exposure to a
claim. The drivers’ failure to follow these instructions will almost always lead to a claim against your company.
Many claims can be eliminated by using proactive communication. When we can involve our customers in sorting
out discrepancies at the time of delivery, we will do so.
While adhering to the above procedures is no guarantee against a claim, it will greatly reduce the chance of any
claims being filed. I acknowledge the above agreement and agree to its terms.
